Agreed

This is a forum for opinions and debate...so Mr Bottom...just who is it that think they know it all?? LD..you should no better...you are always expressing opinions on here (most of which i agree with) so why you agreeing with this pathetic little jibe??

Because there is opinion and there is stupidity. The man can't win. He make's change's we lose he become's an idiot who is abused. He make's change's and we win and he is a genius. To many fickle people.

He has said he is 'CONSIDERING' rotating HIS team and all of a sudden there is 20/30 'opinion's' telling him he don't know what he is doin...

If he keep's the same team tomorrow and we lose Saturday, the same idiot's that say don't make change's Tuesday will be the first on here Saturday night, saying he should of made change's on Tuesday.

He cannot win.

The man has us playing the best football we have EVER seen, with the best SQUAD we have ever had and he is in his SECOND season of management.

Let him do it his way, after all he has got us to THIRD in the most competative league in the world, and all EIGHT MONTH'S after the club was completly was re-shaped from top to bottom.

How's that for an opinion?

Not bad mate but you've just broke your own rules by having an opinion. No-ones been abusing, just merely saying that many of us believe now is not the time for squad rotation....We all agree that the football is great at the moment but a bit of constructive criticism go's with the territory..or we could just call each other pr**ks??

Not quite true. Your use of &quot;many of us believe" puts a spin that yours is the majority (therefore the correct view). At least as many feel Zola is the boss and are happy to leave him be to do his job as he sees fit. Whatever he does someone will criticise him regardless.

I agree with you 100% as the people who doubt Zola despite our fantastic season and tomeframes he had to make this gel, are the ones who still drool over Dyche, and people like Chris de make me sick who point to negatives rather than positives.
Squad rotation results 3-2 to the good. I hope he oes not over tinker, but if there 11 changes I will support my team, and GFZ in the morning."

Gianfranco Zola says he will consider making wholesale changes for tomorrow night's game with Ipswich Town despite defeats in the last two games where he significantly rotated his Watford squad.

The Hornets have a large squad and have several players who, although currently out of the team, were first team regulars earlier this season.

Zola decided to rotate his starting line-up against Charlton Athletic on New Year's Day and at Bristol City on January 29 and, on both occasions, Watford suffered defeat when they were expected to win.

When asked whether he is considering making wholesale changes once more, Zola replied: "Yes because it’s very difficult to handle three games in a row so therefore I have to consider it.

"I don’t want to lose players to injuries for a long time and if you play three high intensity games in a week there’s more likelihood that you risk injuries, so I will consider it.

"I’m not sure that I’ll definitely do that but I’ll consider it."

On the difficulties of keeping the large squad happy, Zola added: "It’s not only about that; it’s because when they [the squad members] play they have played well for the team. Alex Geijo has played well for the team, Fernando Forestieri has played well, Jonathan Hogg has played well and Mark Yeates also - to name a few.

"Ok, in the last two games when we have made a lot of changes we have lost but before we’ve made the changes and won the game.

"It is something I’ll consider and as always; I will do the best for the team, that’s for sure. And whether players pick up long-term injuries is one of the factors I have to consider.

"I’ll make my considerations and I will do my best for the team to try to win the game tomorrow."

Two players who certainly won't feature at Portman Road are defenders Fitz Hall and Tommie Hoban. Hoban suffered a recurrence of his Achilles injury and Hall has pulled his hamstring.

"It’s a muscle problem; he pulled his hamstring. He shouldn’t be long. It would be reasonable to say he’s not going to be available for this game and the next one."

Joel Ekstrand is available for selection according to Zola and Ikechi Anya's substitution at the weekend was due to cramp and he should be fit enough to play.

Zola said: "Ikechi had cramp. He hadn't played for a long time and he was cramping so we took him off because we didn’t want to risk him. He is available for tomorrow."

"There are no fresh injuries," Zola continued. "We have a few knocks but the players that played in the last game are all available."

Ipswich will be without new signing Anthony Wordsworth, who fractured three vertebrae in his back during his Ipswich debut at the weekend.

Lee Martin has been suffering with a calf problem but he could come back into contention and ex-Watford loanee Michael Chopra will be hoping to start after coming off the bench to score the winner against Blackpool.

Former Hornet Scott Loach had recently regained his place in goal for the Tractor Boys but sprained his thumb and has missed the last two matches.

Loach could be fit enough to return tomorrow night but is unlikely to start with Stephen Henderson conceding one goal in the last two games.
